I also have an Audi Q6 Sportback at home.
When it comes to quality, handling and suspension, I think the BMW i5 (I have the xDrive 40) is two classes higher.
Both cars are new, and the Audi has already spent a total of four weeks in the service.

Mercedes AMG GT

The Mercedes-AMG GT is a theatrical sports car with prowling looks and an aggressive exhaust note that announces its intentions the moment it fires up. It pairs ferocious performance with surprising everyday usability — a taut yet forgiving chassis and a cockpit that feels special — making sensible buyers suddenly very good at justifying indulgence.
